The Ant-Eater Goes Bye-Bye...3388 Farmall 2+2

This picture was taken Jan. 1991. That's a 1980 model 3388 2+2 being loaded onto the implement truck (Hays Impl., Monroe City, MO) after dropping off the new 7120. That was a great day...had a lot of trouble with that tractor in the 4000 hours we ran it from new. The older fella on the right is my Grandpa, Leon Latchford. The little guy to the left is me at the ripe old age of 11 years. The 2+2 was the first tractor I ever ran in the field at the age of 8. I was usually nominated to disk all the Milo stalks in the fall, since it took all the rest of the help to drive the trucks hauling it away. When that 7120 arrived, it was MINE!! It was my baby until it was traded in 2004. Submitted by Bill Latchford, from MO
